Free yoga workshop
You may have noticed that there are free yoga workshops available around the country where experienced practitioners and highly accomplished graduates guide participants through various techniques and postures to enhance overall well-being, breathing, flexibility and posture. One such recent workshop was led by Alex Moody, a graduate of the Asheville Yoga School at Stephens-Lee Recreation Center, Asheville Parks, CA. I hope that this event was well attended and more events are arranged to further people’s awareness of this fantastic exercise.

Women and Yoga – Asanas for Menstruation
For women practicing Yoga at home or in a class, it is important to follow certain Asanas during menstruation. Practice of inverted postures can upset the natural flow of blood within the body and so should not be completed during menstruation. If you attend a Yoga class and it’s that time of the month, it may be more beneficial for you to skip the class if you feel you may be asked to do inverted postures. You don’t need to skip your Yoga altogether on that day though, you can still go to your classes if you feel comfortable with them, just ensure you take a time out whenever an inverted posture comes up. If you want to skip your lessons at this time, you can practice Yoga at home concentrating on some of the Yoga postures you already know that are suitable during menstruation.
